WEBVTT
ELIASOPH FOR THE
LATEST ON WHAT IS GOING
ON THERE.
GOOD MORNING, JEFF.
JEFF: GOOD MORNING TO
BOTH OF YOU FROM WINSTON
COUNTY ONCE AGAIN.
THIS IS COUNTY HIGHWAY
77 IN WINSTON COUNTY.
AS I GET OUT OF THE WAY.
A PANORAMIC VIEW OF WHAT
WE HAVE.
THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL
POWER LINES AND THEY ARE
MADE OF PRETTY STURDY
METAL YOU MAY BE ABLE TO
SEE AT THE JUNCTION
POINT.
THEY ARE KNOCKED DOWN AS
FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.
FIVE, SIX, SEVEN OF THEM
THAT WE PASSED BY.
NOW AS MEL GOES ACROSS
THE ROAD.
YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE
DAMAGE AS WELL, THAT IS
STREWN ABOUT, TREES HAVE
BEEN KNOCKED SENSELESS,
THIS HAS THE SIGNATURE
OF TORNADOES I HAVE
COVERED BUT I AM GNAT
METEOROLOGIST SO I
CANNOT SAY FOR SURE WHAT
TOUCHED DOWN HERE,
SOMETHING WICKED,
CERTAINLY, THIS WAY
CAME.
LOTS OF TREES SNAPPED.
LOTS OF STRUCTURES
DAMAGED.
AS WE COME BACK.
WE CAN TAKE LOOK AGAIN
AT THE LINE OF POWER
LINES THAT IS DOWN HERE.
THIS LOOKS LIKE SOME
HEAVY-DUTY EQUIPMENT.
WE'RE BEING CAREFUL HERE
TO MAKE SURE WE'RE N
IN ANY LIVE WIRES AND
THIS IS A GOOD IDEA FOR
THOSE OF YOU TRAVELING
WAY OR ANY PLACE THAT
HAS BEEN AFFECTED BY THE
STORM THIS MORNIN
GIVE THE ROAD CREWS A
CHANCE TO GET THE TREES
CLEAR.
THE POWER LIPS, AT
LEAST, OFF THE ROAD,
THIS WILL TAKE PERHAPS
SEVERA DAYS TO PUT
THESE UP AGAIN AS YOU
CAN SEE, TRANSFORMERS
ATTACHED, ALL MANNER OF
WIRES, AND ON THE
GROUND, HERE.
THIS IS HAZARDOUS
SITUATION, AND WE EXPECT
